Recently, Sunrise New Energy (EPOW.US) announced progress in its sodium-ion battery business. In 2025, the company was approved for two major special projects by the Guizhou Provincial Department of Science and Technology, focusing on the R&D of "hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries." The project is expected to commence construction in H2 2026 and is anticipated to begin production this year, further expanding its technological layout.
It is reported that the project primarily leverages Guizhou and Qianxinan's abundant coal resources, as well as biomass resources such as moso bamboo, walnut shells, and corn stalks, to conduct research and application of high-performance hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The aim is to enhance the quality of hard carbon anode materials, achieve energy utilization of certain biomass scrap, and promote the enterprise's economical and green development.

Two Major Super Battery Plants Terminated

Recently, battery joint venture ACC has terminated its plans to build super battery plants in Germany and Italy. The decision to suspend the construction of battery plants in Germany and Italy was made due to considerations of shifting from nickel-based battery chemistry to lithium iron phosphate battery technology. The company had previously planned to build three super plants in Europe — in France, Germany, and Italy — with a total investment of approximately 7 billion euros. The goal was to increase ACC's battery production capacity to at least 120 GWh by 2030. However, the projects in Germany and Italy have been on hold since May 2024. With this announcement of termination, only the French battery plant will remain operational.
